KIP-MI 42 Posted November 12, 2017 I went to Sams Club today to buy clear Protein Drinks. This was my first experience in a grocery type store since I began my pre op diet. It was the first time my cravings were overwhelming. Then I watched my sister eat one of those huge hotdogs. It smelled wonderful. I just sipped my unsweetened iced tea and thought about how hard this is. Then we started talking about our plans for Christmas and I felt better. Soft foods stage comes six days before so I can look forward to that...if all goes well that is. I hope I get to the point where food just isn’t that big of a deal to me. 4 BunnyJean, ReneeShante, BabyFat23 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even keep all of my Water down yet and I'm still missing food! Has anyone else noticed how every other commercial on TV is for food? It's become a running joke in our house! I can't wait until I'm able to eat yogurt or SOMETHING! 5 BunnyJean, CamillaCallie, KIP-MI and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your stomach will be able to hold 1oz of food at a time so eat slowly. The portion you will be able to tolerate at one time is dependent on the consistency of the food. You you will be able to tolerate more liquids than solid food. Each meal/snack should take approximately 30 min to eat.” 2 LylaLovesCoffee and SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The goal is 48-64 ounces of Fluid and 60-80 grams of Protein. Obviously, I'm not there yet but it sounds like they know it will be tough to get in the fluids that we need post-op.

And honey it’s super hard to get that much in right after having surgery. I have not meet anyone yet that can. I am drinking all day and still can’t consume as much as I should. 1 LylaLovesCoffee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[emoji6]That makes me feel better too. I've had 36oz of Powerade zero. And my dad made me laugh and I was in tears from the pain. Not a good idea to laugh right now. 5 SeaSounders♥, LylaLovesCoffee, BabyFat23 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
